Review: The Ghost Wolves – Man, Woman, Beast
The Ghost Wolves Man, Woman, Beast Plowboy Records Street: 05.27 The Ghost Wolves = Highasakite + Blood Orange + The White Stripes Punk infused blues/rock has never sounded sexier than it has on The Ghost Wolves first full length album, Man, Woman, Beast. The Austin TX based duo first started wandering around the mainstream back
Local Review: The Moth & the Flame – &
Producer Joey Waronker (drummer for Beck) has melded together this artistic vision with unconventional and wonderfully complex rhythms. This EP thumps in its catchy haunt and one can’t help but to close their eyes and listen. … read more
Local Review: Sam Page – The Slog in Uncertainty
Sam Page The Slog In Uncertainty Self-Released Street: 05.01 Sam Page = Pixies + Placebo + The Red Hot Chili Peppers The blind passion and talent for melody that came out of the early ’90s summarizes this album completely. The fact that it’s the brainchild of a Utahn just makes my music geek heart sing.
Review: Cymbals – The Age of Fracture
Care was taken with each track on the Cymbals’ progressive new album. From start to finish, Jack Cleverly’s (singer/guitarist) thought process can be felt in this non-concept-like album. … read more

RAMP Bamboozle!
On Saturday, November 2, RAMP Sports in Park City escorted all things snow to the forefront of our thoughts.

The event featured a gigantic Yeti (think Bigfoot) at the entrance so any excuse for not finding it wouldn’t fool anyone. … read more
Cold War Kids @ The Depot 11.06
This is the band that created “Sensitive Kid,” so honesty and humility blend in a foot-tapping way that this concert hall could hardly hold; however, The Depot did its best and the former House of Blues sound system thumped pleasantly with tappings and noddings of all sorts. “Bulldozer” is a subtle metaphor for the types of emotions felt in these situations, but hearing it live added a level of hope to being run over completely and the lyrics became real in a way you could only appreciate by closing your eyes. … read more
Praying For Snow at the ULLR Ball, Sponsored by Voile...
Two Norse gods were in Salt Lake City on the night of November 9, 2013. One was Urrl, the god of snow, at the Urrl Ball Save Our Canyons Benefit party and the other, a movie featuring some boring gentleman with a hammer. The idea of the benefit was to pray for snow; the purpose of the event was to protect the beauty and wildness of the Wasatch canyons, mountains and foothills. … read more
Taking a Break During Winter Blackout with Ryan Demars of...
I started this interview expecting responses based around catch phrases from Keanu Reeves movies and was almost upset when I found Demars to be intelligent (apparently he took the blue pill), fun, light-hearted and, well … you’ll see. Don’t miss them at Park City Live in Salt Lake, January 30. … read more
